[BreachedSecurity]

Ok I'm hitting 30, I live at my mums place have no job and I guess just plain afraid of the big bad world and everyone in it. It seems the older I get the more depressed im getting and slowly losing hope that i'll ever conquer this thing. I dont really know why im posting this just thought Id challenge myself to post something

Hi . Are you comfortable with living with your parents, or do you want to live on your own? I know it's way way harder than it sounds, but you really have to move out on your own eventually. You can't just live with your parents and depend on other people for the rest of your life. I think that that will only hurt you. It's time to move out, man. You have to keep that hope up, and just slowly work up to your goal, or else nothing is ever going to change.

Have you tried CBT or mindfulness?? CBT especially has a pretty good success rate for SA.

Best book for social anxiety-http://www.amazon.co.uk/Overcoming-...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216590725&sr=8-1

thanks for the replies, yea currently going through CBT with counsellor but just having trouble turning the theory in to practical, when ever Im in a social situation the grip of fear just make me go blank minded and having trouble going through the process and if i do manage to build up the courage to actually say something its so forced and sounds really stupid and timid and might not even make sense aaaarrrrgggghhhhhhh!!!!! it just makes me crazy and lets not mention the blushing.

I'm 27 years old and in the same situation although i do have a full time job, the pay is not enough to cover rent, food, utilities. I don't know about where you are but the UK is a horrendously expensive place to live nowdays.
